Previous comment

In order to provide a comprehensive view of the issues relating to the application of the ratified Conventions on night work of young persons, the Committee considers it appropriate to examine Conventions Nos 79 and 90 together.

Articles 1 and 6(1)(a) of Convention No. 79. Scope of application and labour inspectorate. The Committee notes the Government’s indication in its report that between 2022 and the first quarter of 2023, the State Supervisory Service for Labour, Migration and Employment did not detect any cases of night work carried out by children in non-industrial occupations, the informal economy or in self-employment. The Committee requests the Government to continue to provide information on any violations related to night work by children detected by the State Supervisory Service in non-industrial occupations, the informal economy and in self-employment.

Article 6(1)(b) of Convention No. 79 and Article 6(1)(e) of Convention No. 90. Keeping of registers. The Committee notes that as per section 52(3) of the Labour Code, the employer is obliged to keep workbooks for all employees who have worked for more than five days. The Government’s Decree of 12 April 1999, No. 154, regulates the procedure for maintaining workbooks of employees, which shall contain the information on the employee’s name, date of birth, education, and profession (section 4).
